6. CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE
Cut the gas supply.
The plate is still hot:
- Drain most of the fats and cooking juice with the wooden spatula towards the
outlet (No.4 in the photo) in front of the plate.
- Let the plate cool down and clean it with warm soapy water and a slightly abra-
sive pad. Collect the cooking residues in the drip tray (No.5 in the photo).
- Then use some white vinegar to neutralize the cooking smells.
- Finally, wipe the plate before putting it away or using it again.
Do not put ice cubes or other on the plate that is still hot (deglazing), which may
lead to a violent thermal shock and permanent damage.
The plate is cold:
- Clean the plate with a wet sponge and some dishwashing liquid.
- Wipe the plate with a soft and clean cloth.
- Remove and empty the tray (No.5 in the photo) filled with fats and cooking juice.
- Clean the tray with a wet sponge and some dishwashing liquid (can also be
washed in a machine) and wipe.
- After the tray dries, put it back in the appliance.
- Clean the outer case of the appliance without using any abrasive product.
- Never clean the appliance under a water jet, the seepage may cause irreparable
damage to the appliance.
Attention to the capacity of the drip tray (No.5 in the photo): consider emptying
it regularly, any overflowing inside the appliance may cause irreparable dam-
age.
When the appliance is not in use for a long time, we strongly recommend that the ap-
pliance be kept in a dry place.
